Unbound Merino Apparel Review
Unbound Merino Apparel Review
Unbound Merino is a brand that makes quality merino wool clothing. Everything from shirts and shorts to sweat pants, hoodies, and socks. The company started as a crowdfunding(https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/unbound-merino-the-ultimate-travel-hack#/) campaign that raised $374,390 USD from almost 2000 backers in 2016. The idea was to simplify the traveling wardrobe with a garment that could be worn multiple days without the need for laundry. Outside of the functional conveniences, Unbound Merino clothing is nicer to wear, it doesn’t smell, regulates temperature better than other synthetics, drys quickly, and is wrinkle resistant.
Unbound Merino Pants Review
We received a pare of the MerinoTencel Sweatpants to review. Right out of the box, you can feel the quality and see the modern fit of the pants. The modern fit with the superfund premium merino wool makes these comfortable travel pants for the plane to the hotel and out on the town. The pants like other Merino wool products are odor resistant, temperature regulating, fast-drying, and wrinkle resistant.
It’s worth pointing out that a single pair of the Unbound Merino Tencel sweatpants cost $145. That may be excessive but when taking into consideration these pants can be worn for days in a row while traveling, take up less room when packing, and are far more comfortable than much less expensive sweatpants.
Merino wool has a natural waxy coating called lanolin what helps it to naturally resist moisture and stay stink-free. Tencel is a cellulosic fiber that can be combined with other fibers like cotton or wool to enhance the aesthetics and functionally of the fabric like greater strength, efficient moisture absorption, and gentleness to skin.
The Unbound Merino sweatpants are made from 69% Tencel, 20% Merino Wool, and 2% Spandex and manufactured in China. They have a drawstring, two zipper pockets in the back, and two hand pockets in the front. The hand pockets also have smaller pockets inside. The right side has a small zipperless pouch while the left side has a larger pocket for a wallet, keys, or a small phone. The bottom of the sweatpants is tapered but there is no elastic at the bottom. They have a slightly slim yet comfortable flowing fit.
Unbound Merino Raglan Crew Sweatshirt Review
The Unbound Merino Raglan Crew Sweatshirt is a comfortable stylish fitting merino wool sweatshirt great for travel and layering for warmth. The Raglan Crew mixes 97% merino wool and 3% elastane for durability and stretch.
The Unbound Merino sweatshirt right out of the box has a soft comfortable high quality feel to it. I’ve owned a few other merino shirts and sweatshirts, in fact, you can see some other reviews on Merino clothing here. The Unbound Merino Raglan Crew is the highest quality merino sweatshirt I’ve worn. The Merino wool used is measured at 17.5 microns (really small) that gives the sweatshirt a soft and light feel. It’s really something you need to feel to understand.
The Merino sweatshirt offers the same benefits as the other Merino garments: no stink, fast-drying, moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and slim packing.
Unbound Merino Sock Review
The Unbound Merino socks are as impressive as their tops and bottoms. They are a thick wool sock that offers ample cushioning and warmth for any season. They are reinforced in the heel and toe and are a great sock for traveling. They keep feet warm even when wet. They also are odor resistant, fast drying, anti-wrinkle, and temperature regulating. One great feature is that they can easily be hand washed in a sink and hung to dry. The socks retail for about $20 a pair wich is very reasonable for wool socks.
